ok you're in. Check the change in rules for this game. You can only run OR rest each turn. You can't do both.
We'll see how that affects the strategy ;-)

how about 'legionnaires march'? run 100 yards, walk a 100yards, cover 7.5 miles an hour without getting tired?
[you can change them into metric]

yeah I tend to go into that mode when I can't run any more. If I'm well rested and the body is working well, I should be fine. I just need to get past that first cutoff in under 3 hours.

I think I can do it ok. But it will depend on the weather a lot. I'm finding that I really struggle when it is hot. Which is a big surprise to me.
